Rangers Outright Ronald Guzman, Three Others

By Anthony Franco | November 6, 2021 at 2:00pm CDT

Nov. 6: Ronald Guzman has elected free agency, per ESPN’s Enrique Rojas (via Twitter).

Nov. 5: The Rangers announced this afternoon that four players — first basemen Ronald Guzmán and Curtis Terry, infielder Anderson Tejeda and reliever Matt Bush — have cleared outright waivers. All four will be eligible for minor league free agency.

Guzmán came up as a well-regarded prospect and served as Texas’ regular first baseman for a good chunk of his first two MLB seasons. He didn’t hit for enough power to offset high strikeout rates, though, posting just a .229/.307/.415 line that checked in sixteen percentage points below the league average by measure of wRC+ from 2018-19. Guzmán hasn’t played much over the past couple seasons, missing almost all of the 2021 campaign after tearing the meniscus in his right knee in April.

Like Guzmán, Bush also barely played this past season because of injury. The 35-year-old suffered a flexor strain in April and missed almost the entire year, although he did return after a long rehab to pitch on the season’s final day. It has now been three years since Bush’s last extended action, as he also missed all of the 2019 and 2020 campaigns because of an elbow injury that required Tommy John surgery.

Tejeda and Terry are career-long members of the organization with scant big league experience. The former has tallied 94 MLB plate appearances over the past two years, spending most of this past season at Double-A and Triple-A. The latter earned a thirteen-game major league cameo at the end of 2021 after hitting .275/.349/.533 with the Rangers’ top affiliate in Round Rock.

    The Guzman experiment has come to a close.

      The same way the Profar, Mazara, and Odor experiments ended. Too many duds produced in a short period of time by that farm system.

    I hope they sign Guzzy to an MiLB deal. He didn’t deserve to go out the way he did, and he was really trying to make the changes necessary to be a good MLB hitter. Mind you, in the pre-2021 winter, Guzzy won the Dominican Winter League MVP and in 2021 spring training he was absolutely mashing the ball too. He was just put in a bad position (left field, apparently), and it caused him to miss the rest of the season.

    No mention of Bush being the number 1 overall draft pick for the Padres in 2004? Verlander went number 2.

      Nope, that would take too much journalistic effort.

        Just like everyone does with the astros and any player who was even mentioned as looking at a PED.

        What bush has done is far far worse then either. He shouldn’t be allowed in the game.

    Leaving the Rangers’ tire fire is the absolute best thing that could happen to Guzman’s career.

      Moving to Korea would be the best thing for his career.
